Another bug is that I have configured the spdif optical out in my lmce setup, so my volume control should operate my amplifier rather than mythtv. At the moment it operates both.

For example if I vol down it happens on my Denon amp as expected AND on screen in mythtv. Same with mute. I think the volume controls should only operate my Denon amp (at least that is how it worked in 0810).

I am working very hard on supporting everything. Being the dummy I am, I made a whole bunch of new video cards work (Intel, ATI, and the newer nVidia GT series)... little did I realize that that meant making audio work for them as well. Finding a solution that fits everything has been a painful process. I am sorry to those who are frustrated by things that did work, and suddenly don't. There are some things that need to happen for things to work, and I am just figuring all this out, each day.

Myth, yes... that's annoying. I am trying to fix it. I am attacking a whole slew of myth related issues once I fix general audio.

Check that you have the latest update.Delete the last several unhashed lines of /etc/pluto/xine.conf and rm /etc/asound.conf /etc/X11/xorg.con* on your ION and reboot. This will take you to wizard where you should have some success.

b4rney.. yeah... my Myth audio stopped working and I also fixed it that way although I am pointing to the alsa hw:x,y hardware device... either or... as long as it is working.

l3mce... yes I am grateful for your efforts on making this stuff work.... Im not much of a programmer, but I do have a bit of time to do some research and testing of your efforts... I am glad I was able to help some too! All my audio seems to be working fine... I am trying to figure out why I dont get the truehd and dts-hd audio to my receiver...it either decodes it as just DTS or no audio at all... I'll let you know if I find something.

best of luck guys,Dennis

btw.. based on the number of posts Ive done, it states Im a 'guru' LOL thats a laugh!

This solved my Acer Revo sound issue. Didn't change xine.conf but everything is now working after the wizard. Once again thanks l3mce. You devs are doing an amazing job.

After the small mythtv audio hack I have a working system. Let's not forget this is beta software. I know the risks and I'm happy to help any way I can.Barney

I'm running the Aug 9, 2012 release of 1004 and just got the latest updates using your global_updates script. Turned on my Revo and it works awesome out of the box. HDMI audio with DTS and digital audio work without modification....

As of 26580+ audio should work out of the box for darned near everything, including dolby/dts. That dts hd stuff... I dunno... I think it has something to do with our version of xine.

IF you do not have audio where you want it, add the following value to /etc/pluto.confAlternateSC = 1and try again. You can actually just go back to the audio selector page, change the value, and select your audio output again. This covers everything.

Ok I've run out of ideas here. I'm trying to setup a new media director and getting the dreaded "Failed To Setup X". There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 but there is a xorg.conf.pluto.avwizard. I've tried creating my own xorg.conf and deleting all the xorgs. No go.

Hardware on the MD is ASRock A55M-HVS, AMD A6, ASUS GT218 GeForce 8400 GS. All of this I guessed as compatible. I have had success in the past with the 8400. For

cat /proc/driver shows no such file or directory. Tried to install driver but cannot kill X.

So now I'm stuck. I just want to know if it's a compatibility issue or me as my bag of tricks is quite limited.

One thing to note if I remove the video card and go with the onboard "even HDMI" it works fine just not good enough. Also will not start AVWizard with that.

I see your other thread. Looks like you did not have internet during install. You should not have to do anything at all... should all work fine. My guess is a networking glitch.

Check to see that you indeed do NOT have internet (ctrl alt f2) ping -c4 google.com

Assuming you do NOT have internet, try swapping the cables to your nics, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restartping again. If you DO have internet this time, then I need to go back and look at how I am setting up networking. If you do NOT, please give me the contents of /etc/network/interfaces.

If you DO have internet, simply rebooting should solve everything... it will pick up and start rolling. My guess is you are using the nouveau driver.lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 to be sure.

I have loaded lmce onto the machine that was giving me the problems with the "Failed To Setup X".Installed with no AVWizard start. Sarah started ok and went through that. UI1 started with sound. Restarted with AVWizard and now I get "Failed To Setup X"On that machine which was the new MD I get;

On the other machine that has the upgraded 26373 (i believe I see some 26579 software in that upgrade.) After running the alsa fix I can play video and have sound but it is bad. I'm going to run the AVWizard again there and see what that does. I will then put it back to where it was when I was adding the MD mentioned above.

I know I am kind of mixing threads here so let me know how badly I have confused you.

By the way. My external router does not clear out its client list often and I can successfully ssh into the hybrid with several IPs Seems wierd??

Thanks for responding

Let me know if I can do more.

Update;I rebooted the MD that is currently running its own lmce install 26373 (not upgraded) and get the same "Failed to Setup X"The post screen did show it installing the nvidia driver.

Another update;The hybrid that I did the upgrade on that had no sound. I upgraded the alsa driver and now the pci sound device shows on the AVWizard. After selecting stereo analog (what I have to test with) I get static. So that trick it out of my bag of tricks. I'm going to set up my hybrid/core as "Normal Operating" now. If needed I can try to install that "Failed To Setup X" machine (will refer it as MD1 from now on) as an MD and see what we see as far as internet if you like.

I somehow failed to add your pciid. Well... it isn't somehow... it does not show on the list of supported chipsets in 260, but it is a rev A card... and I use 304 only when absolutely necessary. So it has no install candidate. I have it in the rev... just not the "get mah driver" part.
